My daughter is starting to become a young woman and I am starting to become an old woman.
I know this because we were sitting discussing the coming weekend last night and specifically our travel arrangements. After she had confidently told me what her plan b was if there were delays on the Circle line she expressed her concerns about me travelling on the boat on my own this evening.
Now to be fair it is a v. short crossing, but she knows I don't particularly like that bit of the journey and was concerned about how I would cope. I was able to reassure her that I am a proper grown up who is quite capable of managing, but it illustrates how the balance is changing.
She is starting to become an able and independent young woman, whilst I am in turning into someone for my daughter to worry about. Seeing as I am only in my mid-30's this is somewhat worrying, but hey it's good to know she cares.
